Odessa, Aug. 15, 2025 — Dawn barely touches the cranes when the crew starts moving. Deck plates are slick, ropes coiled in heaps near the rail. The ship’s name is half-hidden under salt spray, but the hold is full — wheat bound for Egypt. A deal signed last week opened this...
Dubai, Aug. 15, 2025 — Warm air even before sunrise. The ramp lights cut narrow cones across the tarmac. A freighter rolls to a standstill and the ground crew is already moving—hands up, palms flat, a small choreography under the engines’ fading whine. Reefer pallets first. You can smell the cold...
ABU DHABI, August 15, 2025 — Freight volumes through Abu Dhabi’s airports have hit a new high, with 344,795 tonnes moved in the first half of the year. It’s not just a number—it’s a sign of where trade winds are blowing in the Middle East and beyond. The growth didn’t happen...

Washington, D.C., Aug. 14, 2025 — The corridors of the U.S. Department of Transportation are buzzing with a single message these days: they want your voice. The National Freight Strategic Plan — last updated in 2020 — is now being refreshed, and the federal officials behind it are calling on...

Istanbul, Aug. 14, 2025 — The Bosphorus was calm this morning, ferries sliding between continents, but in the glass towers of the city’s finance district, the talk was anything but quiet. Türkiye’s central bank confirmed a 27 % jump in foreign direct investment for the first half of the year...
Vadinar (India), Aug. 14, 2025 — At the refinery gate, the tide of tanker traffic has slowed to a trickle. Trucks wait longer.
